Hal,   not to be a smart ass, but things have come a long way from the 
days of tuning
RTTY with a scope,  just run RTTY on your computer using the sound card 
and the
tuning scope is on the screen.  Either "crossed banannas" or waterfall 
or both..
IF your looking for a "portable station" I would look to compact it as 
much as possible,
all the "extras" add up to space and weight.  
If you need a spectrum analyzer that may be another story, but with all 
the poor
signals out there today I dont think you would really want one.
